Along with featuring a whole slew of fine, fine tunes by the likes of John Lennon, Tom Waits, Steve Harley & CockneyRebel, Alela Diane, Otis Redding, Kamasi Washington, Uruguayan singer Vera Sienra with herwistful waltz made in collaboration with the brilliant but erratic Eduardo Mateo, and a whole lot of others–this mix contains some more songs from a few of my favorite albums of 2016. Albums like Anderson .Paak‘s Malibu with its meticulous whirl and groove; Turkish artist Gaye Su Akyol and her kinetic sophomore record Hologram Imparatorlugu(Hologram Empire); Emily’s D+Evolution by Esperanza Spalding (which is a bit like if Joni Mitchell, Zappa, and Prince collaborated on a project); the fantastic Visions Of Us On The Land, Damien Jurado‘s (and sonic collaborator Richard Swift‘s) final installment of a loose trilogy that began with 2012’s Maraqopaand then continued with 2014’s phenomenal Brothers And Sisters Of The Eternal Son; and also Solange‘s A Seat at the Table, which I just first listened to two days ago and was completely blown away by! Her track here on this mix–“Borderline (An Ode To Self Care)“–features production by Q-Tip, and along with his work on last year’s amazing A Tribe Called Quest record We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your service he has really impressed me in this capacity.
